WHY SHOULD YOU COME TO OUR (or any) LIVE SHOW?

If you have never been to a live show, you are missing out on a really fun event! At a live show (or model horse expo), you not only get to compete in various classes with your models, but you get to meet other people who share your interests, and you get to see a wide variety of models, tack, and other accessories, all in person!

Don't worry about the basic procedure for live showing...it is quite simple! For halter classes, all you do is take your model(s) to the judging ring and place them on the judging tables. For performance, you will need tack, and in some classes, obstacles and other props. For these classes, you tack up your model in the appropriate tack for the class, and set the model up in the judging ring, along with any needed props. In fact, setting up entries for live shows is far simpler than setting up for taking photos for photo showing...because you do not have to worry about lighting, backdrops, and settings at a live show!

Hope To See You Here For The Mid-Ark Model Horse Expo!!

Each model will need a 3 x 5 card for each horse for each class they enter. On one side put the following information-model's name, breed, and gender. On the other side is your name. The quick way to do this is use address label. Do not put explanation of the class they are in on this card, use a seperate card.

Cards are highly recomended, especially if you have an unusual breed or performance event. No cards larger than 8" x 10" will be allowed.

Each exhibitor will have be entitled to a table. When you check in, you will be notified as to where your table is located. If you have any special needs (health reasons, etc.) for you to be close to the judging rings, please note this on your entry form. If there are other attending that you would like to be seated by, just make note of it on your entry form and I'll do my best to accommodate you.

Exhibitors are welcome to bring sales items along and display them on their tables. For anyone who is not a paid exhibitor but wishes to come just to sell, there is a $20.00 fee for one sales table.

Not everyone has a use for ribbons won, or wants to keep them. If you are one of these, we will BUY back your ribbons and rosettes, as long as they have not been written on. Buy-backs are: 5 cents per flat ribbon, 50 cents per rosette. Buy-backs will be conducted at the end of the show or if we run out of a placing.

We will probably have several models and other items to raffle

We will break for lunch around noon for about 1 hour. There are fast food places in Greenbrier-McDonalds, Taco Bell, Arbys, Subway, and Sonic.

This is strictly for fun. This class has been a great favorite at other shows with exhibitors really using their imaginations and senses of humor. There have been times that the judges and exhibitors were laughing so hard they all had tears running down their faces! One entry per exhibitor. Entries need NOT be horse-related. At other shows we've had entries such as "Teenage Mutant Ninja Cows", "Wisconsin Cowasocki", "Honey, I Shrunk The Horse", "Remakers Graveyard" (Rest In Pieces Cemetery). This class will be judged by all exhibitors and spectators. We will put paper cups by each entry. Exhibitors & spectators & show judges will put loose change into the cups by their favorite entries (we just ask that those entered in the class not "judge" their own entries.) Winner is the entry with the most change in their cup, the rest goes to the show to help defray show costs. There might be children present, so try to keep it clean.

An "entry" may be comprised of more than 1 model; however, only 1 model per entry will be placed (in other words the extra models in the entry are considered props). This is more than just putting a haltered model on the table (this is a halter scene class). The object is to present your entries to their best ability. Props, including doll handlers are encouraged. Use your imagination!! Some suggestions: Barn scenes, pasture scenes, halter setup with handler, training scenes, etc. Exhibitors will be allowed a half table for their entry. We will use both judging rings if needed.

An "entry" may be comprised of more 8 to 10 models. The theme can be make, breed, color, etc. I have one collection I present called Dapples, because of the horses have grey dappling. I saw one collection called Barbaque because all the horses were black, cute idea. Just make sure to put down a card with the collection's name and have your name on it. It also helps to have a nice set up, just to present your collection better.

1st and 2nd place models to be judged for the championships and reserves listed in the class list. We will call back those models with the ribbons, when it is time to for the judge off. Keep track of your horse's ribbons.

Take Hwy 65 North from Conway. When you reach the first stop light, turn right. When you turn, you'll have Satterfield's on your right and Sonic on your left. Go down this road and turn left on Lois Lane , the event center is the large building on your left. There is a large door on the left side of building that opens into the hall where the show is. I'll put up a sign for the show.

Post-Entries: Entries postmarked after Sept 30, 2008 will be subject to a $10.00 post-entry surcharge. If you will not be paying your fees until the day of the show, you must notify the show secretary by phone, e-mail or by mail of your intent to attend. It is very important that I know how many exhibitors to expect, so that we can be able to arrange for additional table space if needed.

We hope to see you here for a day of fun and competition!
